66% MSI PS63 Modern 8RC Laptop Review: Good Display, But Performance Is An Issue
Source: Tech2.in.com Archive.org version
I really don’t know what to make of the MSI PS63 Modern 8rc. Despite coming from a company that’s as value-conscious and sensible as MSI, I’m at a bit of a loss as to why the PS63 exists. It’s not competitive on any front and its best feature is a gimmick. If you’re a “creator”, you’d actually be better off with a gaming laptop or a MacBook Pro.

MSI PS63 Modern review – hot out of the oven… literally

As much as we wanted to love this device, it just didn’t let us to. That’s a pity, especially given the fact that it is one of the prettiest laptops you can find on the market right now. Additionally, it checks all the boxes in theory – it has capable hardware, huge battery, and an attractive display, so … what went wrong?

MSI continues to bolster its business-friendly Prestige line with the PS63 Modern, a svelte 15.6-inch notebook that falls just short of the top rung of desktop replacements.

It's really hard to find a laptop that strikes the perfect balance between features and portability. MSI has come very close to that with the PS63 Modern. This is a company that knows what serious PC users want, and design hasn't come in the way of usability. The screen and keyboard are very good, battery life is strong, and overall construction quality is satisfying.

Model: MSI PS63 Modern 8RC is a laptop that claims to be slim, elegant and prestige. MSI has partnered with Discovery Channel to complement the unlimited creativity and innovation. Motivated by the exploratory spirit and non-stop creativity, the PS63 Modern has been carefully designed to pursue the greatest achievement in their expertise. Inspired by the infinite universe, this laptop is crafted in a unique diamond-cut design and sandblasted texture. It’s finished with deep carbon gray and a brilliant galaxy blue trim, encasing the laptop’s edges. The PS63 Modern is the result of meticulous design and performance. Crafted in an ultra-light and ultra-slim aluminum chassis with a premium texture, the PS63 Modern is made portable and stylish wherever users may go. To pursue the best of the best, the product meets the MIL-STD 810G military standard for reliability and durability. Users can indulge in the stunning visual experience of the 5.6 mm thin bezel laptop, and liberate their imagination from the frame. The FHD-IPS Level display with an 86% screen-to-body ratio gives a great slim form factor without all the bulk, and allows users to really immerse themselves.

The latest 8th generation Intel Core i7-8565U processor (Whiskylake) allows for responsive multitasking and smooth graphics rendering. Users can also slim down their bags with laptops designed with GeForce Max-Q on its GeForce GTX 1050 4GB GDDR5 graphic adapter. This innovative technology squeezes all the performance of NVIDIA GeForce GPUs into the world’s fastest, quietest, and thinnest laptops. The built-in fingerprint sensor is designed with personal/business security in mind. Logging in is as simple as a tap of a finger. Besides that, MSI's exclusive Cooler Boost 3 Technology, with 2 dedicated fans and 3 heat pipes, stands out among the competition, keeping the laptop cool even in intense usage. Furthermore, the Creator Center takes optimization to the next level with easily adjustable system modes and resources for a wide range of scenarios and needs. Designed with busy, mobile lifestyles in mind, the PS63 Modern offers an all-day battery for all work and entertainment. The new Prestige power adapter compliments the thin design of the laptop and fits perfectly in any carry. It is 19 % smaller and 38 % lighter than other conventional charger. If users have phone battery running low, they can power it up with QC 3.0 quick charge without even turning on the laptop. It saves time, and allow users to carry less. As a conclusion, the MSI PS63 Modern 8RC is a decent mid-range laptop designed for multimedia entertainment. It is not offering the most powerful hardware, but it gets the work done. The strong point of the laptop, which is being lightweight and slim, makes it ideal for users who often need a laptop on the go.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q: Efficient mid-range graphics card for thin and light laptops based on the same GP107 chip as the normal GTX 1050 for laptops but at slower clock speeds. Offers a approx. 10 - 15% lower performance than the laptop GTX 1050 but at a much lower power consumption.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

i7-8565U: Whiskey Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Kaby Lake but produced in a further improved 14nm++ process). The four cores are clocked between 1.8 and 4.6 GHz (Turbo Boost) and support HyperThreading.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

MSI: Micro-Star International (MSI) was founded in 1986 in Taiwan. MSI is especially known as a manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards for PCs, but also offers computer accessories, complete systems, motherboards, graphics cards, laptops, desktop PCs, monitors and other components. However, the Microstar brand name in Germany belongs to the Medion company. MSI is known for its gaming products and has developed a wide range of gaming laptops and desktop PCs. The company is also active in workstations, servers and industrial automation. MSI has offices in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

84.01%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
